I'm Thomas, 23, in Paris, France. I'm here cuz like most of you I'm fond of nice analog console.I will own a SC600 soon, and will use it for recs from time to time, and mainly mixes.

I'd like to improve it's summing and make its auxes a bit cleaner... I will probably recap it and change the input transistors to achieve that, but I have no clue for the summing... If someone can help ;)

My main feat was keeping a Calrec UA8000 alive for more than two decades - in the now defunkt Feedback Recording in Denmark. Other than that, I've serviced and worked on a fair number of other consoles, from AMEK to SSL - and related stuff.

Hello everybody!I see it's 11 months since the last new member arrived, so I'm here to boost your community by one.

I will immediately admit that I am an amateur, and my (Soundtracs Topaz 32) console appears in the "everything else" category.

While I'm here, I'll ask for your advice about replacing the console. It needs to be transportable but also robust, as it will be carried to performances in small halls. 24 channels might just be enough.

Thanks for the welcome, and thanks for the tip on the Midas.I read the SOS review, and it looks like a super piece of kit. I've looked around, but haven't been able to find anyone selling a new one yet, although the U-32 is available. This seems to have USB instead of Firewire.
